One Health Medical Association (OHMA) serves as an interdisciplinary space for Binghamton University students to collaborate between peers and professionals from various health disciplines to create an innovative and holistic approach to achieve One Health.

Hello! We are OHMA.

All for One Health and One Health for all! By protecting one, we help protect all.

One Health Medical Association (OHMA) seeks to provide opportunities for career development, network with professionals in One Health fields, and foster community and communication to create advocates with the goal of creating a transdisciplinary partnership between healthcare, animals, and the environment to advance medicine and public health.

What Is One Health?

One Health is a collaborative, multisectoral, and transdisciplinary approach — working at the local, regional, national, and global levels — with the goal of achieving optimal health outcomes recognizing the interconnection between people, animals, plants, and their shared environment.

One Health is the idea that professionals across all fields of expertise can work together interconnected and united under the effort to support global health recognizing the connection between animal health, human health, and the environment.

 Collaboration within professionals from various disciplines is necessary to find solutions to complex shared health threats like antimicrobial resistance, the global food crisis, zoonotic/emerging diseases and more.
